This review covers endothelial functions and dysfunction, crucial for cardiovascular health. It highlights methods to assess endothelial health and its role in atherosclerosis development.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Vascular Physiology

Context:

  • The endothelium acts as a vital barrier between blood and tissues.
  • It regulates critical physiological processes including coagulation, inflammation, and vascular tone.
  • Endothelial dysfunction is an early indicator of atherosclerosis.

Purpose:

  • To review the diverse functions of the endothelium.
  • To discuss the concept and implications of endothelial dysfunction.
  • To outline methods for quantifying endothelial function and dysfunction.

Summary:

  • The endothelium performs multiple roles, including in coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, and vasomotor control.
  • Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as a precursor to atherosclerosis.
  • Morphological and biochemical techniques allow for the study of cardiovascular risk factors' impact on vessels and therapeutic effects.
